Mercedes E500 wont start

Can anyone give me any ideas on why my car won't start sometimes. This is the 2nd time my car leaves me in the street with start up issues. My car will be running fine with good temperatures & I'll stop somewhere and turn it off but when I return to my vehicle won't start up anymore. I changed the CPS and that didn't seem to be the problem. When I try to start the car, it cranks but never starts. It kinda sounds like it's out of gas, when indeed it has a half of tank. The times it left me in the street, I'd have it towed home and the next day when I try to turn it on, It starts up with no issues. I feel like its fixes itself while it's been transported in the tow truck. The last time I had this issue was 3 months ago. The car started running fine until 3 days ago. Once again I towed it home and the next day it started up fine. I haven't drove the car because I'm afraid it'll leave me stranded again. Any ideas anyone?

This may be a bit awkward, however if it starts after being towed, why not buy a tow truck and have a friend tow you and girlfriend around town. This way you can still hold your hands on the steering wheel(drive the car) and never worry about being droped in the street again---some streets are bad, especially Bulgarian!!
